I had a c-sec 4 weeks ago. i was healing really well and felt fine but lately i have been getting pains, well more like twinges behind my scar if that makes sense, and also when i have wind or need a poo *cringe!!* i get pains similar to labour pains - i even sound like i did when i was in labour when i get them cos they are just so bad! oh and another thing - most of my scar is normal but at one end it feels like there is a lump behind it - the size of a walnut - is that normal?? i have my 6 week check up booked and will obviously mention all this then if its still going on, but for now, can anyone put my mind at rest??!!??

ive had two c-sections and cant remember any of these symptoms!!!
if i were you i would contact your midwife or doctor if you are that worried. i didnt have a lump on one side but i dohave an indent of where the wire ended.
ring the midwife to make sure everything is ok.

Hi Cassie, had my third on the 19th Dec and am suffering a little. Have an infection and scar has split slightly so am on antibiotics. Am seeing the GP once a week to keep it in check. Abdomen still feels quite numb but this is quite normal at this stage.
I would personally say that you need to go see GP and get the scar looked at now and not wait for the 6 wk check, you may have an internal infection that can be cleared up in a matter of days with antibiotics.
I'm also getting the pains before wanting the toilet, makes you double up in agony , I have been put on lactolose so I dont get constipated and am eating lots of fruit and trying to drink lots of water.
hope you get this cleared up asap

Just been reading your diary and it's amazing to read. Thanks for sharing it x Your son is absoloutly gorgous x

Take care girls and this post has scared the living day lights out of me as I am due to have a C section but at least I know who to come to with any queries about it

Best of luck hope you all heal soon and are feeling better x
Take care
Clara x

hi ya, i had a csetion 8wks ago. At 5wks i got an infection, just above the scan line. It felt awful. Its sounds like my symtoms, go to ur doc . They gave my some antibitics, which cleared it up. I do sometimes now still get a stitch like pain, i think its gonna take awhile to heal .
